got new tires and wheels.

66clow · 09-22-2018, 04:43 PM

Test fitted my new door and kick panels. Finally covered the dreaded speaker hole.

weq92f · 09-23-2018, 10:54 AM

Actually yesterday but...

Installed the water pump, intake, throttle body, accessories and belt system, valve covers, headers, and fan relays and harness.

KQQL IT · 09-23-2018, 04:25 PM

Drivers training days.

My daughter has claimed old blue and wants to get her license in it.

Except she's getting the Sonoma 1st.

weq92f · 09-23-2018, 06:29 PM

Fired it up after top end refresh and retrofit roller cam completion... open headers, no O2 sensor to get it to run right -EFI on top-

Oh man, that sounds great. Nice truck by the way!

I live not too far from Fort Worth.

**Steeveedee** · 09-25-2018, 12:08 AM

Got the new Cold Case radiator delivered today. I was at the care facility where my MiL is for rehab after falling last Tuesday, so one of my sons brought it into the house. He'll be the one putting it in with "parental supervision", because I still have "candy hands" after carpal tunnel surgery, over a year ago.

Ken O. · 09-25-2018, 01:54 PM

Put in a new axle in the 67 GMC over the weekend. Took out the old 12 bolt with a bad pinion bearing and replaced it with a 14 bolt, 6 lug, 3/4 ton axle from a 91 chevy. No more grinding noise! yay! New headlights with led halos from Octane lighting just showed up the other day that will be installed shortly. So then I can actually see at night.

Barnfind46 · 09-26-2018, 08:39 PM

My truck "Gene" got new shoes!

tommy3horse · 09-26-2018, 09:14 PM

Hi, I chased a nasty miss on the “new” crate motor, now with 7k miles. I replaced the hei cap and rotor, pulled the carb, completely dissassembled it and cleaned it. I didnt find the issue until I pulled the plugs and found #6 fouled terribly. Yikes. The wire had been rubbing on the dipstick tube and sure enough there was gray “tracks” on the tube.
I replaced the wires and 8 fresh R45TS plugs and that wire. Now she runs on all 8 and goes like the wind....
Day well spent!

Tom

Thanks! I'm going to try to make the Good guys event this coming weekend at Texas Motor Speedway if the rain stays away! Come by and say hello!

Got my new license plates

72c20customcamper · 09-28-2018, 09:15 AM

Replaced the trans cooler lines. Po used gas line to fix rusted areas. Needless to say it turned to a mushy black piece of penne pasta like consistancy. All new steel with the proper oil cooler hose.

I live in DFW. This is not an unusual occurrence.So sorry about your truck!

Ken O. · 09-29-2018, 09:08 PM

got the new headlights installed. Wired the LED Halos up for daytime running lights.

**tdangle** · 09-30-2018, 01:41 PM

Temp sender for gauge quit working. Since I had to drain the cooling system, I decided to change out the intake manifold gasket as who ever installed it used the rubber end pieces and of course leaking. Last oil leak fixed. Had an issue with an air pocket causing the gauge to peg, but got it sorted out. Next up is the headlight relay update since its getting dark earlier now.

Andy4639 · 09-30-2018, 04:48 PM

Nothing big but I fixed my exhaust leak at the flange. The flange had cracked so I welded it up. I stuck a small bolt in the crack to fill it up .
No more leak are loudness!

Jramirez67c10 · 09-30-2018, 08:44 PM

Wet sand and some wax. Cleaned up nicely.

weq92f · 09-30-2018, 08:58 PM

It's also lower and with darker wheels/trim pieces.... looks real good!

FL71C10 · 09-30-2018, 11:03 PM

Bled the brakes and installed the motor in the truck. Making progress!
